Pages

Welcome to my creative online journal

Friday, 21 May 2010

A little while ago I had a 'practice run'(Link) at doing a journal page, well the idea still appeals to me to do a 'proper' one and now I have my Bind-It-All I can make my own pages.

So this is what I started to do tonight, my first background page:

The butterflies won't be on the page for real, they are just modelling for me! :-) They are another recent purchase and they are magnetic. I fancy using them as stencils as well as for other artistic uses.

To make this page (which I'm sure will be less dark when it dries) I used ordinary felt tips and a water brush.

And so that the colours kept individual, I wiped the water brush on my hand in between colours (a tip I learned from Create & Craft)

I love it when the colours spread out with the water.

Beautiful!

Another thing that is beautiful but not associated with it is the dandelion clock - there are so many around at the moment!

On Creative Flourishes you will find examples of my photography, mixed media artwork, cardmaking and general art & craft making. Hopefully I will inspire others (as others inspire me) to get creating too! I also include snippets of my family life with my husband and my two teen boys, aged 17 and 15.
